Hu Chao's message read: "Li Hao, the results of the competition were supposed to be announced today, but the HR department at headquarters hasn't provided any feedback to any of the candidates yet. I really don't know what's going on."

Li Hao frowned, feeling a little doubtful and uneasy.

Logically speaking, the competition for such an important position should proceed as planned. Now that it has reached the final stage, the results should be announced quickly.

But now it seems that Daxia Group has delayed time and has not even given any feedback, which is indeed a bit outrageous.

He looked up at Liu Fei and whispered, "Uncle Liu, there's something wrong with the Daxia Group. I'll go and ask what's going on."

Then he picked up his cell phone, stood up, walked aside, and called Hu Chao.

When the call was connected, Li Hao's first question was, "Mr. Hu, what's going on? Why haven't the results of the competition been announced yet?"

Hu Chao's voice was a little low. "I don't understand either. According to the plan, the leaders of the Human Resources Department should announce the results of the competition today."

"But so far, there's been no news at all. I asked several leaders who attended the meeting, and they also said they hadn't received any instructions. Something's not right, Li Hao."

Hearing this, Li Hao became even more confused.

In matters like job competition, once a decision is made, the time for announcement is strictly arranged and will not be changed at will. Such delays make people wonder whether there are any variables involved.

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he had to remain rational at this time, otherwise not only would he fail to solve the problem, but it would also affect Hu Chao's mentality.

He closed his eyes and silently called Lao Pi in his heart.

All along, Lao Pi's performance at critical moments has never let him down.

"Mr. Pi, what's going on? Why haven't the results of the competition been announced yet? Is there something unexpected?" Li Hao asked anxiously in his heart.

[According to my calculations, Hu Chao's chances of success in the competition are currently as high as 90%]

Judging from the level of support from all sides, it's not a sure thing, but at least it's a sure win. Therefore, the delay in the announcement of the results of the competition may not be due to Hu Chao's performance.

When Li Hao heard Lao Pi say this, he felt a little relieved.

If Hu Chao's success rate is so high, why has the competition result not been announced yet?

Could it be that there are other more urgent matters at headquarters?

Li Hao nodded in his heart to express his gratitude to Lao Pi, then picked up his phone and called Hu Chao again.

This time, his tone was much gentler: "Mr. Hu, don't worry. Did you mention leading a project during your application?"

Hu Chao hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Li Hao, I did hint at it, but since we haven't finalized all the details yet, I didn't fully use it as leverage."

Li Hao was silent for a moment, then said, "Is that so? That shouldn't have been such a long delay... However, it's possible that the group has encountered some urgent matters that need to be dealt with first. Stay calm and don't rush. Keeping your composure is the most important thing at this moment."

Hu Chao sighed on the other end of the line, his tone somewhat helpless. "I understand that. However, the current progress is extremely critical, and there are many variables that have suddenly increased. I really don't want to fail at the last minute."

Li Hao smiled and comforted him, "Believe me, Mr. Hu, if there is anything else I can do, I will do my best to help you. As long as you stay calm, there will definitely be a great chance. Don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hao lowered his head in thought.

Liu Fei walked over and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Li Hao, what happened?"

Li Hao raised his head with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, but he tried to calm himself down and told Liu Fei the whole story.

After listening to this, Liu Fei nodded slightly and frowned as he said, "It seems that there may indeed be some unexpected situation at the headquarters. How about this, I can use some of my friends to help you find out the internal situation and see if other things have delayed the announcement of the results."

Li Hao looked at Liu Fei with gratitude, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. I really hope Hu Chao can successfully take this position. It is very important to our future plans."

Liu Fei smiled and waved his hand. "You're welcome. We're all in this together, so it's only natural for us to help each other. And I can see that Hu Chao is a very capable person, and he deserves this opportunity."

Li Hao felt a little more at ease. He knew that with Liu Fei's help, things might make some progress.

In the next few days, he could only wait patiently and continue to analyze and track the entire situation through Lao Pi.

He took a deep breath, returned to the dining table, and continued discussing their joint sponsorship plan with Liu Fei.

"No matter what the outcome, Li Hao, you must be mentally prepared." Liu Fei looked at Li Hao with a hint of concern in his tone. "Sometimes we can't control everything, but we can do our best to prepare for every step. As long as we don't give up, there will always be a way."

Li Hao nodded deeply, understanding Liu Fei's intention.

Just as they continued their discussion, Li Hao's phone suddenly rang again.

This time, it was still Hu Chao calling.

Li Hao quickly answered the phone and asked impatiently, "Mr. Hu, any news? Why are you contacting me again all of a sudden?"

Hu Chao on the other end of the line seemed slightly excited, yet also somewhat cautious. "Li Hao, I just investigated why the results of the competition haven't been announced yet. It seems to be related to the head of the securities business receiving some special information. I'm now inquiring further."

Li Hao seemed to have some clues: "What special news? Do you know what exactly happened?"

Hu Chao paused briefly before continuing, "I'm still investigating, but it seems to be related to a certain business. It's likely that a special project has suddenly come up and needs to be handled, and the head of the securities business is preparing for it."

Li Hao nodded, and gradually had some guesses in his mind.

"Mr. Hu, please tell me immediately if there is any progress." Li Hao reminded.

He knew that Hu Chao needed to handle the situation calmly and try to find out the cause.

A while later, Hu Chao called again, his voice tinged with excitement. "Li Hao, the securities headquarters has received new information. They say Xiajin Securities has proposed to us, Daxia Securities, to jointly sponsor a business involving a media company and a technology company."

When Li Hao heard this, he reacted immediately.

Then he replied, "Mr. Hu, think about it, a media company and a technology company...aren't these Feiyue Media and Noah Technology?"

Hu Chao smiled and said, "Yes, that's them. It seems Xiajin Securities is interested in collaborating with these two companies, and headquarters thinks this project is a particularly good opportunity, so they've put the competition on hold to see who can secure the joint sponsorship first."

Li Hao felt a complex mix of emotions, both surprised and excited.

He didn't expect that it was because of the joint sponsorship project of Feiyue Media and Noah Technology that Hu Chao's competition results were delayed.

"Mr. Hu, do you have any further news? What is headquarters' attitude towards this project?"

Hu Chao's voice was low but full of determination: "The temporary assessment given by the headquarters' senior management is that whoever can negotiate this joint sponsorship order first will take the position."

When Li Hao heard this, he instantly understood the situation.

His thoughts were working fast. He knew that such a test was both a challenge and an excellent opportunity for Hu Chao.

Because he has Liu Fei and Xia Jin Securities' cooperation intentions towards Noah Technology and Feiyue Media, Hu Chao has a unique advantage in this competition.

He quickly said to Hu Chao, "Boss Hu, since Daxia Group is interested in this joint sponsorship, and you have been given this assessment opportunity, then things will become simple."

Hu Chao replied, "Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity. And Li Hao, this project was originally your plan. If I work with you, we will definitely be able to get this order faster."

Li Hao smiled, a hint of confidence flashing in his eyes. "That's right! We have very advantageous resources and connections now, especially Mr. Liu from Feiyue. We've already done a lot of communication on this matter, and Xiajin Securities is also willing to cooperate."

"We might as well make a decision right away and find an opportunity to express our position to the senior management of Daxia Securities so that they can see that you are capable of winning this business."

When Hu Chao heard Li Hao's suggestion, he knew that this opportunity came at the right time, and his friends were supporting him behind the scenes, which made him feel extremely at ease.

He smiled and responded, "Okay, Li Hao, then we'll follow your suggestion. I'll arrange a meeting with the leadership of Daxia Securities as soon as possible to express my intentions."

Li Hao continued, "Hu Chao, this is a rare opportunity. You must demonstrate your strongest abilities and confidence. I'll speak to President Liu right away and have him exert some influence from his side. We need to make sure Daxia Securities understands that you are the most suitable candidate."

Hu Chao took a deep breath, his eyes full of fighting spirit: "Li Hao, don't worry, I will definitely go all out this time to get this business."

Li Hao hung up the phone and immediately communicated the latest situation with Liu Fei.

After hearing this, Liu Fei smiled slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone: "Okay, I was worried about whether your friend could successfully take on the position, but now the problem is simple. I fully support Hu Chao in winning this project!"

Li Hao nodded, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by strong confidence and fighting spirit.

Liu Fei continued, "Li Hao, this opportunity is crucial. Don't worry, I will continue to stay in touch with Xiajin Securities and convey their intentions and cooperation conditions to the senior management of Daxia Securities as much as possible. In particular, I will let them know our trust in Hu Chao."

Li Hao's heart was filled with gratitude. He knew that with the support of an ally like Liu Fei, Hu Chao's chances of success in the competition would be greatly increased.

He said softly, "Thank you, Uncle Liu. We will definitely do our best to seize this opportunity!"
